Ol’ Ragged Top: Ironwoods in Bloom

[jbeegoode]

The new site is coming along. I managed to post this today. It is a trip into the Ironwood National Monument in 2009. Visit: http://thefreerangenaturist.org/2015/07/17/ol-ragged-top-ironwoods-in-bloom/

Great reading, Jbee.

I really like the rain post. Reminded me of home in Texas.
Hot days, hot air and cold rain pelting down.

Thanks for the encouraging comment. I'm still working on the site, It needs a header menu on top and a links to refer people to here and hopefully make discussion here.

I'm experimenting with the pic layout. Sometimes, rather than just assume that people know to click the images to see them full size, I wonder if I should just place them all into the text full size. I know it would be easier for those with older slower operating systems and service.

Every time that I check the posts, I see yet another type-o.

Typo's are irritating, but not the end of the world.
The messages come through loud and clear, along with the photos. That matters more.

Also loved the saguaro photos. I had never heard that the word means 'people'. That made the pictures more entertaining.

Don't worry about the typos, jbee.  Gives it charm!

In respect of the layout, I'd stick to a uniform one, e.g. with pics always right aligned and with a fixed but invisible border width.

Nice work Jbee. How I've missed those reports on the old site! I keep hinting that instead of Florida we should winter in Arizona.

Gosh jbee,
Your blog is coming on nicely.  Could I suggest a small convenience for the reader: When you embed clickable, enlargable photos, that you always set them to open in a new tab (which you can set as a default for new pics).  I was recently trained in wordpress by a developer and they rightly pointed out that opening in a new tab means you can hold the opened page/photo open or close it at will without having to keep reloading it for a second look or having constantly to press the back button on the same tab, to get the blog post back to continue reading and often having to re scroll down to where you left off reading.

Also, it made me ask why I don't get tired of looking at the AZ country!  I guess it's no different from the Lake District or Yorkshire Dales, Scottish Highlands, Grand Canyon or Lake Powell & little rivers...one just never tires of looking at nature, especially if one is naked in it!

I agree! When I look at the pictures Karla & Stuart have on this site, it makes me want to go there immediately. The same happens when I see Jbee's, or any other pictures posted here.

To be where the picture was taken without anything separating me from the landscape is what I think causes that response in me.

I'll be inserting more picks, just because the places and pics are fun. I'm used to placing picks to make up for my lack of descriptive ability. Like the next post will be De Anza and there will be some pics of rocks without naked people amongst them. I can place as many pics as I care to and the audience can click as many as they have interest to. I suppose that I'm adding more nature to the naturism.

Thanks for the feedback. This wordpress has been difficult, time consuming and often frustrating to figure out.
